‘Twas the Night Before Christmas

1 dayWe started at 100 and have counted our way down to the very day before Christmas. Today is the final day to do what needs to be done, but above all, to enjoy the beautiful and meaningful moments of this holiday.

Countdown to Christmas | 100DaystoChristmas.comThe Countdown to Christmas Challenge for today is to sit around the Christmas tree as a family and read your favorite Christmas story, whether that be the story from Luke about the birth of baby Jesus or “’Twas the Night Before Christmas”. Feel the magic of Christmas. Absorb it. Commit it to memory. And finally, don’t forget to leave out cookies and milk for Santa (and a carrot for Rudolph, too)!

Visit the 100 Days to Christmas Facebook page and let us know how you have done on this journey of 100 days. Was there something that wasn’t covered that you feel should have been covered? Your feedback is invaluable to how we organize our 100 days for 2013.

Christmas Eve Eve

2 daysIf you’re planning for your Christmas Eve or Christmas day dinner and have pie or bread on the menu, locate your recipes and break out the flour because today is a great day for baking.

Countdown to Christmas | 100DaystoChristmas.comThe Countdown to Christmas Challenge for today is to finish the task of baking so that tomorrow can be saved for the busyness that accompanies the day before Christmas. Do whatever can be done today. For a little extra fun, camp out under your Christmas tree tonight in your sleeping bags. Savor the tree and its beautiful decorations and soak up the chance to create new Christmas traditions for your family.

The Shortest Day

Day 4: Winter solstice, the shortest day | 100DaystoChristmas.comToday, as we scurry around to prepare for Christmas day, it may seem like there is not enough time to accomplish all of the things we want and need to do. Winter Solstice is the beginning of winter and the return of the sun.

Countdown to Christmas | 100DaystoChristmas.comThe Countdown to Christmas Challenge for today is to commemorate the shortest day of the year by gathering around a fire or lighting some candles. One of my favorite activities on this day is to read The Night Tree by Eve Bunting with my family. A new tradition for us is that we dry out our Christmas tree from the previous year and store the dried branches. Then, we bundle up on Winter Solstice and go out after dark for a bonfire.

In what ways do you welcome the return of the sun? Visit the 100 Days to Christmas Facebook page to tell us your family’s plans or traditions.

Commence Christmas Dinner Prep

Day 5: Commence Christmas Dinner Prep | 100DaystoChristmas.comChristmas dinner, whether enjoyed on Christmas Eve or on Christmas day, is a time to gather together as family and friends to put aside all of the distractions of the holidays and concentrate on what is truly important. Good food happens to be an excellent way to do just that.

Countdown to Christmas | 100DaystoChristmas.comThe Countdown to Christmas Challenge for today is to begin preparations of the side dishes in order to save time on the day of the dinner. Chop all of the vegetables that you will need. Prepare your cranberry salad today and allow it to properly set up. Assemble that favorite casserole and then refrigerate it until it is time to start cooking dinner.

Cleaning for Christmas

6 daysOnce again, we have reached a crucial cleaning time of the season. Christmas is officially THIS WEEK and there is still much to do to be ready for any Christmas festivities you may be having in your home. This week we will be focusing on cleaning different areas, beginning from the top.

Countdown to Christmas | 100DaystoChristmas.comThe Countdown to Christmas Challenge for today is to plan your cleaning schedule using your calendar or ListPlanIt’s Week of Christmas*. Pencil in the remainder of your Christmas obligations to coincide with dinner preparations, houseguests, end-of-school
happenings, and everything else that takes place during the last week before Christmas. While it’s not necessary to spring clean, some tasks to include are dusting, cleaning bathroom(s), vacuuming, mopping, changing sheets for guests, and cleaning out your refrigerator to make room for make-ahead dishes and holiday leftovers. Are visions of a clean house for Christmas dancing through your head?

* Available as a download in the 100 Days to Christmas 2012 eBook.  Members to ListPlanIt.com can print or download a Week of Christmas worksheet in Holidays & Occasions.
